DOT Compliance Summit
Building Structured, Defensible DOT Compliance Programs
Date: Saturday, January 24, 2026
Time: Half-Day (Final agenda provided after registration)
Location: Smyrna, Georgia
Hosted by: Prime Fleet Management
Why This Summit Exists
Organizations that operate DOT-regulated commercial motor vehicles face increasing regulatory, legal, and insurance exposure yet many compliance programs are built around checklists rather than systems.
DOT compliance does not fail because companies do not know the rules. It fails because structure, ownership, oversight, and control are missing. The DOT Compliance Summit was created to help leaders understand:
-Why compliance breakdowns happen
-How FMCSA actually evaluates compliance programs
-What makes a compliance program defensible, sustainable, and resilient
This summit moves the conversation away from audits and toward governance, accountability, and risk management.
Who This Summit Is For
This event is designed for leaders and professionals responsible for DOT-regulated commercial vehicles, including:
-Business owners and executives
-Safety and compliance leaders
-Operations and fleet managers
-Risk and insurance professionals
Organizations operating CMVs across transportation, construction, utilities, recycling, energy, media, and related industries
This is not a driver training or entry-level compliance class.
What You Will Gain
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of:
-How structured DOT compliance programs are built and governed
-How FMCSA evaluates compliance using the Safety Management Cycle
-Why policies and paperwork alone do not protect organizations
-How compliance failures create legal, insurance, and business risk
-How the Seven Elements of an Effective Compliance Program apply to DOT-regulated operations
The Seven Elements of an Effective Compliance Program
Across regulated industries, effective compliance programs share common structural elements. As discussed in our seven-week series on the Seven Elements of an Effective Compliance Program, compliance program structure provides a governance framework used to assess whether an organization’s compliance efforts are sustainable, defensible, and effective.
The DOT Compliance Summit applies this framework directly to DOT and FMCSA compliance aligning it with the FMCSA Safety Management Cycle to show how compliance is evaluated in the real world.
Multi-Disciplinary Panel
The summit includes a moderated panel of professionals from across the compliance ecosystem, including:
-Transportation litigation and risk
-Commercial auto insurance and underwriting
-Freight and business access
Panelists will share how compliance failures show up beyond audits in courtrooms, insurance renewals, and business operations helping attendees understand the downstream consequences of weak compliance systems.
Event Format
This is a half-day, in-person summit designed for practical, leadership-level discussion.
The format includes:
-Framework-based presentations
-Moderated expert panel
-Audience Q&A
